A Time for Joy!

 A
time
has come
for Joy: ringing
bringing down heaven
on earth,  it’s time for
mirth and colored lights,
fragrant baking, yes festive
making,  gifting,  wrapping
tree adorning, frosty mornings
hustling, bustling, chestnuts
roasting, late at night scheming
sugarplum dreaming, mistletoe-
kissing -- and most of all -- wishing
the Merry Merriest Christmas
to
you
and
Your’s!
